# async

#### Promises

Promises may be values in a proxied object. They will be resolved in calls to `snapshot`.

```jsx
// vanillajs example
const countDiv: HTMLElement | null = document.getElementById('count')
if (countDiv) countDiv.innerText = '0'

const store = proxy({
  count: new Promise((r) => setTimeout(() => r(1), 1000)),
})

subscribe(store, () => {
  const value = snapshot(store).count
  if (countDiv && typeof value === 'number') {
    countDiv.innerText = String(value)
    store.count = new Promise((r) => setTimeout(() => r(value + 1), 1000))
  }
})
```

#### Suspend your React components

Valtio supports React Suspense and will throw promises that you access within a components render function. This eliminates all the async back-and-forth, you can access your data directly while the parent is responsible for fallback state and error handling.

```jsx
const state = proxy({ post: fetch(url).then((res) => res.json()) })

function Post() {
  const snap = useSnapshot(state)
  return <div>{snap.post.title}</div>
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback="Loading...">
      <Post />
    </Suspense>
  )
}
```
